What car was your last project?
« on: 27 January 2010, 22:21:08 »
Just as i was getting coverd in oil durt and grees it dound on me the last car i had to do work on was over ten years ago.Then it was simple, I had a 2l sierra and an xr4i + the 4x4 ok these were a litle harder than the 2l but evan then hardly no sensers as xr`s had MFI and the 2l twin cam just riped it out and replace with the pinto enjine useing carbs and points out of cortina(or whatever). So in all im on a big lerning curve with the runing of the enjines now'
 
So just wondering when was your last project car and when?

Pleas remove if this has already been asked.
Thank you

The 81 was only a 4.9 turbo & only produced 210bhp. Strangled by emission controls.
I had a 1992 5.7 GTA which was a totally different animal & i loved the speed "a little too much"

I have had a few projects

73 Saab 95V4
1978 Fiat 126 650
79 Alfasud ti
78 Allegro
1986 2CV
1988 2CV
1990 2CV

Loved the '88 2CV-drove it to Geneva, Rome, Venice, Prague, Amsterdam in two weeks when I finshed it-no faults!
